Quoted By:
I ended a very long term relationship about two years ago and just started dating again a few months ago. I'm struck by how complex it is and how much luck goes into finding a decent person, and yet despite that it luck-based, how much of an impact it makes on how good life is.
Initially we are driven by attraction, but there also has to be emotional, intellectual, ideological, and sexual compatibility. Then, even if all of that is in sync, there has to be a synchronicity of future life plans. It's like you get past one level and on to the next, and performance on the next has nothing to do with the previous level.
I'm feeling lost.
